Skin oddity....

[maggiecake]

okay. so i usually have pretty good skin. very few pimples. my main problem up until now has been that it can get quite dry in the winter. still, pretty average. ANYWAY. the other day, i got a new face wash and a new moisturizer. aveeno natural radiance, i think is what it's called. i think this is what caused it, because i noticed it just the day after i started using it. my face, though it still looks clear from far away, is covered with a ton of tiny, flesh colored bumps. they don't itch and they aren't red, but my skin has a totally different texture and if you get close enough you can see them. i've exfoliated, done masques, and etc, but they are still here! i mean, it hasn't been a long time, but i have no idea what they are! i've never had anything like it before. so... this is really long. i was just wondering if anyone knows what this could be or has had something like this before. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It could be the cleanser, if it's Positively radiant you're talking about then the face cleanser (mine came in a tube) also contains exfoliating beads for a luminous/bright skin but i found them really harsh, even given the fact my skin is sensitive. Check yours, see if i'm talking about the same product.

Another possibility is the main ingredient is soy, and it's a known allergen, so you might want to investigate that possibility too.

Magosienne could be right.

Since you are using them both, its hard to tell what is really upsetting your skin.

One suggestion is to stop using both until your skin calms down.

Then just use one for a few days.

If it reacts, you'll know right away.
